Which Is Right for You—A Home Theater or a Media Room?
Create a Space Designed for Fun and the Ultimate in Entertaining
For many years, luxury homeowners in Asheville, NC, have turned to designated home theater systems for their entertainment retreats. These spaces are designed for the ultimate cinematic experience with large movie screens, 4K HDR projectors that deliver lifelike images, and an immersive sound field that envelops you, taking you to another place and time for those few hours.
These spaces may have tiered movie seating, automated plush recliners with LED-lit cup holders, and fiber optic LEDs that turn a ceiling into a starlit sky. The designated home theater often offers a better movie experience than your finest cinemas.
More recently, media rooms have taken hold, growing in interest for designers and homeowners. These spaces, also known as multi-purpose or multi-use rooms, are designed with the same attention to audio and video detail and much more.
Let’s explore the many uses of a media room and help you decide which entertainment space is right for you.

The Room for Entertainment
These rooms are all about fun and socializing. Gone is the tiered seating, and in its place are sectionals, loveseats, comfy sofas, and even gaming chairs. It's a space where friends and family gather to enjoy Sunday’s game, watch the latest blockbuster, play a round of pool, or take on their friends in a video game.
The Hidden Technology
As a design and technology firm, Kasted Design Group is unique in the industry. We provide the latest audio-video solutions while creating a space that adds to your home’s aesthetics and architecture. For many of our clients, this means using today’s hidden technology.
We'll discuss the best options for your space: projectors and screens or large 4K OLED TVs. Both will immerse you in the game or movie and disappear from view when you use the room to socialize. As the demand for entertainment that retains a home’s design increases, many brands are creating TVs that transform into paintings, pictures, or mirrors when not in use. We can also install lifts that hide your equipment in ceilings, floors, furniture, and behind paintings until ready for use.
To obtain the immersive surround sound important to the movie experience, we'll install nearly invisible high-performance in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. Your hidden high-fidelity audio system can bring soundtracks to life or stream your favorite playlist when friends are over.
Effortless Control
One of the best ways to transform your sitting area into an entertainment mecca is through a home automation system. These systems control your lighting, climate, audio-video equipment, security, and more. We can program a “Movie Night” button on an elegant in-wall keypad that causes your screen and projector to descend from the ceiling as your blackout shades lower and your lights dim. Almost anything is possible with today’s technology and smart home automation.
At Kasted Design Group, we treat the design and appearance of your automation projects as seriously as we do their function and performance. Are you ready to create a home theater or media room that inspires, enlightens, and entertains?
